No wories OP. I greatly enjoy the story missions and don't have an issue with the lack of options. It's a story built around people creating and exploing. Creating in the sense of having fun with fireteams and Exploring the vast mysteries in the game and asking yourself, "Just what the hell is that supposed to be?"
It either works with you that your ncuriousity helps or your just looking for another shooter.
If your looking for another shooter though, go look up Planetside 2. PC and soon-to-be Playstation if not already out.
If you need convincing, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tULvukw1VFI]here's one reason that I was involved in (not cameraman)...[/url]

Some turn to dust... others have tales to tell at the Tower... but for the select few... we become legend. Earth. You learned the essence of the Fallen. You learned of war machines and remnants from a time ago... but you overcame all of those. Moon. We walked the surface and found the Hive. Beneath that surface, we saw tunnel built upon tunnel and cataclysm built for many a purpose... and still we overcame those odds. Venus. The timeless purpose of the Vex and the giant skyscraper we still cannot get into. Even with all our gear from VoG or Crotas chambers beneath the moon. That giant technological skyscraper is still waiting for us... The Reef. The graveyard of ships littered for God only knows how long and a Queen who seems more curious how we made it that far when our predecessors clearly did not. Guardians are rising? Maybe. Maybe not. We still have yet to face the hardest challenges ahead. Mars. Probably the hardest of the hard.Military Cabal with endless wave upon wave of enemies who, with enough bullets and careless actions on Guardians... are actually capable of killing us. We found Valus and his henchman at the spire, turkey man, but if you ask any guardian what is the hardest strike from the normal campaign across worlds... Cerberus Vae III, burned into memory, will be the most talked about. And how we at last come to the first of many trials... 20... you grind through the crucible you hate so much, align your factions of FWC, DO, or NM and hope you have the weaponry enough to come back better then before. 26 rolls around and you get the notification for the Vault... the Vault of Glass... for years we pondered... we had hints and clues all around us on Venus and the only question left is the one always asked: what did a lone wolf Titan have to do... for us to stand a chance against a timeless Lord of the Vex. Well... whatever he did, it worked. And so did we. 30 and you finally see the light. You finally know true defensive power. Enter Eris with a challenge a lone wolf hunter and soon followed Titan completed with the demise of a Hive God and a challenge I myself completed as a Titan defender... You know what my question is now? What could I possibly desire more then going back and forth across Crucible, VoG, and Crotas End? Seeing more Guardians say they have actually accomplished what I have so I at least know... that the next challenge will have thousands of Guardians looking at it going, "I hope you have enough guns... because we all have three of them."

I bet 70% of that is from grimiore cards. Because the story is on the grimiore cards. But no one wants to read through 100+ containing the story. Oh, and they're not in-game.
-
It's funny you guessed that. I've never read any of the Grimoire cards. Just collected them and check up on what isn't rank 3 yet.

NICE TRY BUNGIE!!
-
Bungie? Look kid. I've been in the scifi genre a lot longer then I care to admit to. Stories like destiny is the same to me as Star Wars or Star Trek or games like planetside 2 and conquest: frontier wars. You either get it, have no issue saying it, or you don't. You wanted something different. Good for you... But don't think you can come online and sound like you've figured it all out. That's youthful bandwagoning at best.
-
Only a bungie employee would say so much positive about destiny that you can hardly understand the words between the slobs on bungie's knob.

I laughed. Thanks for that.

Realized too late that this comment may have been aimed at Chadzors instead of me, but until I see clarification, I'm leaving it up for the "get off my lawn" bit.
-
No worries. I had a smile on my face since most of my posts sound like that, but truth be told it's always said out loud with a laugh in my throat. This entire video game is just... lol... Way too simple to figure out for me. I've known more complex things in the IT switchboard maintenance schedules then this game or any game for that matter...
-
Call whatever you will whatever you will, I have no problem because I say what I feel how I see/feel it, and the only bandwagoing going on on my part was that I bought Destiny to play with a friend, ad really liked the game a lot...I don't put literal days (not at a time, but over all) into a game to be a bandwagoner...not me. I liked the game, and then was expecting them to live up to what was being thrown around/advertised, and the dlc was a flop. Excuse the -blam!- right out of me, old timer. I'm not trying to impress anyone, or "figure it out", I'm just voicing how I feel about a game that I've put a decent amount of couch time into. Not claiming to have played more than anyone else, or to be more of a fan or hater than anyone else. What I write is what I think, because I thought it, and we're all welcome to our opinions, so I'm going to believe that you weren't making a bid for sheriff of videogame world when you said "don't think you can come online and..." (get off my lawn!), and instead believe that you're just sticking up for a game that you like, and are saying it's not for everyone, which I know. However, I'm ot writing for everyone...I'm writing from my point of view.

You first point is about saying what you feel and how you see things. Three words was your single post. With that came the very easily understood allegation of bungie and sounding like Bungie. Well congrats little one if I called you on that and now you feel like defending it. Your second point was how you bought Destiny to play with a friend. Good. Go play with them. Third point was days over time into the game. Congrats on seeing that it is just a video game like I do. Fourth was expecting them to live up to advertising. Things change. Always will and I'll let you in on a little secret: No one really cares about advertising. Why? All words, no actions. Developers however.... care enough to listen. To change. To update us weekly. My response to that? So what. You update us. Congrats. Want a cookie for your efforts? /s Gamers. Care far too much about the way a video game should be played. If you enjoy it enough to keep playing it? Ok. Don't care to continue? Ok. You want to post your "feelings"? No one cares. Give feedback in a simple A-D format with small explanations to each, talk with others online to see what ideas you can come up with if you want, go do something else. Your next was the DLC was a flop. DLC was a success in my opinion. Apparently people are constantly playing the Omnigul strike it has popped up on an automated system because it is the most commonly played strike next to the Nexus and Septics ones. But ok, maybe you realized, as I do, that most of Destiny RNG isn't actually random. It's calculated using the same engine I built back in college. For example, did you know that you have a much higher chance of getting exotic drops like I have if you do nightfall strikes without dying and within a certain time frame? Here you have people complaining about nightfalls giving strange coins. I've never gotten strange coins in all of my nightfalls since day 1 AND was always a guaranteed legendary or exotic drop for doing them where my shields never dropped or I cleared a given area quickly. As is anything in this game or any other game, the common logic of a computer system is built on people saying what they "feel" rather then thinking. Congrats on being part of the "feels" squad whereas I have had every exotic in the game at least once for the 360 and currently maintain a full time job which allows me to enjoy video games and have steady income. Does that make me special? No. Just aware and able to smile about the things Bungie does because I have never been a common bandwagoner like you. Take it easy brotha.

How is the dlc a success when after people cheesed the -blam!- out of the Vault of Ass, straight out the door people go into Scrotum's End and find that THE boss....Crota himself, will just sit down and take it if your party leader merely disconnects their internet? The game is broken, brother. Face it.

[quote]How is the dlc a success when after people cheesed the -blam!- out of the Vault of Ass,[/quote] So no shit, just yesterday, I was involved with two other guardians I ran VoG with for the VERY first time. You know what was funny about that? All of them are on my friends list right now because I constantly made humor out of our encounters. They laughed, learned, and listened to a Day 1 DLC VoG AND CE runner. 6 hrs, 39 minutes VoG, 5 hrs, 37 minutes Crotas End. You know how we kept our sanity? "Dude, those thralls when lined up and bobbing their heads... it's looks like a bouncing penis train with mini arms attached..." lol... yes, this was actually said. THAT is how DLC is a success. Screw whatever "Cheese" your talking about unless it happens to be Swiss or American on my medium well bacon burger and ask yourself if you can enjoy the story. Answer yes? It CAN be a success. Answer No? It CAN be a success. Oh, and as for the Crota glitch? It isn't possible with party leader. It's the player with host who also has to be party leader. Host is the required connection. "Ring around the posey, ashes full of posey, ashes ashes, Crota falls DOWN!" and yes. Humor has to be utilized with me. If I get a group that yells at each other, humor will come out and tell them to shut it from a 31 Titan striker so...

The hidden ghosts make up for some of the downside of destiny, because it gives you a story to seek, and a reason to explore areas that you'd otherwise run past to get to the objective. I said it above in the thread: the game has promise...lots of it. It's visually pleasing, the music is semi-epic, they wanted it to be an adventure and therefore nixed a trading system so that everything you have on your player is something that you EARNED I a unique way. Don't get me wrong, the frame work for something great is there, but I'm just concerned as to why the entirety of the game feels incomplete and lazy. Especially being that it's a game that players pay for continuously. All I can really say is "hopefully they're using some of that money to make it what it could have been, and aren't just happy shoveling tiny amounts of slop to their paying customers. With Activision in the mix, I'm not very optimistic, but the thing that I like (possibly the most) is that Bungie seems to want to make a game that people enjoy, and they appear to listen to what players are saying on these forums and elsewhere, so I haven't given up hope. Even so, hope, and blind faith are close cousins, each one just as ugly/unfortunate as the other until the people making this game prove that it's about bringing a fantastic vision to life just as much as it is about making a pay check.
